Reviews

[Beka]

January 2, 2022: Project Dance is now available to add to your Goodreads shelves! This dark fantasy romance retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," started as a short story (but I assure you, if you read the short story, you *won't* know the ending to this one).

I'm working on expanding this into a full-length novel, and it will feature a whole host of new characters, new twists, and even higher stakes! I can't wait to share these characters and world with you. <3 My heroine is a tad...unconventional...for this genre, and I'm so excited for you to meet my tall, buff, beautiful, and no-nonsense Els and her sweet, serious (also buff XD) prince!

Watch this space for more updates as I work through edits.
